Who else beings their coffee or energy drink from the lodge with them on the first run of the day? seriously nothing better than a hot cup of coffee, bluebird skies, fresh morning mountain air, and a quick park lap to get the day going.

I don't, cause then you have a crash like mid day, and it sucks. I usually have an energy drink around lunch.

I do the same as you, except ive never experienced any crash as you speak of. I do as you - when i eat i take a rockstar and when im finished eating i bring half of it out in the park. Epic moments there man

Nothing better than sippin' on some hot Dunkin D's while sliding the first rail of the morning.
For powder days I just fill up my camelback with some fine black Columbian joe and milk it all day.

but for real I just drink a cup in the morning at my house while reading the paper

Unless I'm tired as fuck... Nothing. Sometimes I'll have some soda at lunch to keep me from getting tired after eating.

English breakfast tea is where its at in da morning!!!!!!!! Red Bull is wayyy to expensive to be drinking all day everyday, so I usually only have it a couple of days during the season + I don't even feel a difference when I drink one compared to a soda, but the crashes really suck when I do get one after a long day.

i actually have gone many 10 hour days of skiing with just a couple breaks and sodas. infact i have never used energy drinks while skiing. i think the excitement and adrenaline rush of the sport keeps me energized.

I try not to do any athletic activities on energy drinks - I feel like it'll give me a heart attack. I just drink them if I'm tired at work. For skiing i'll drink some hot water in the morning before heading out.

Morning - Tim Hortons coffee, black. Occasionally a double double.

Some sort of juice or water at lunch, maybe a beer if I feel like paying $7852 for a goddamn Lucky.

On a particularly cold morning or night, I'll get a small coffee and ride some trails and just have a little non-park fun with drink in hand to warm up. I'm yet to notice caffeine do much to wake me up, and will go out of my way to avoid even the slightest dependency on it.

My family recently purchased a Keurig coffee maker which started me drinking a couple cups of coffee every day, purely on taste. I slowly started noticing my thoughts of "Ugh, I'm tired, I need a coffee" so now I only drink my mom's decaf unless I'm already wide awake and craving a french vanilla.

Usually pound a monster on the car ride up.
And +1 to beer on the lifts. I'm glad this was said.

Always have one after a good day of riding helps me crash faster, but its not like I'm already tired. I don't think its really a greatest idea to have one before starting.
